Meant in the general sense. More complexity, more opportunity for attacks and/or implementation bugs. For starters you have a phone number associated with an account already. I would wager losing your phone is nearly impossible to prevent, while picking your passphrase is up to you. Losing your phone could alone compromise your security, but the very least SMS leaks the info where you bank.
I'm aware I am a minority with this opinion, but I would be really grateful if I could at least opt out from phone based 2FA.
